Stake weekly recap: nine years of Stake, Drake lights up Kick, and two new features go live
What a smashing birthday weekend it's been! Stake turned nine this past weekend, and we marked it with a massive Drake livestream on Kick and over $1 million in giveaways. We have also rolled out two brand new features to make finding your next bet and your next game easier than ever. Add a title fight at UFC 330, the return of European league football, and the world's best Esports teams going head to head in Paris, and there is a lot to get into. Let's get cracking and get right into it at Stake!
What's got everyone talking at Stake
Nine years of Stake, headlined by Drake
We hit a huge milestone this weekend as Stake celebrated its 9th birthday! The party was headlined by Drake, who went live on Kick for a stream that drew one of the biggest audiences on the platform all year. Together we put more than $1 million on the line in giveaways, with one lucky viewer walking away with a $50,000 grand prize live on the night. Thank you to everyone who tuned in and linked up to be part of it. The celebrations are not over yet either, with birthday promotions running throughout August. Head to our 9th birthday promo page to see all the live promos you can still take part in!
Meet Hot Picks, your shortcut to smarter SGMs
Building a Same Game Multi just got a whole lot easier. Our new Hot Picks feature lives under the Same Game Multi tab and surfaces player outcomes that have landed across a player's last five games, giving you a simple way to spot picks backed by strong recent form. Alt lines are included too, so you get even more qualifying picks and more ways to combine them, and you can select several Hot Picks and build them straight into one bigger-payout SGM in a few taps. It is launching on MLB first, so baseball bettors get the fastest route yet from player form to a finished Same Game Multi!
A fresh new way to find your games
We have also given the casino a slick UI upgrade designed to get you to the right game faster. A new panel puts your Games For You, Saved Games, Following, and Continue Playing collections all in one place. On your desktop, it slides out from the side, and hovering over any game tile plays a short clip of the game in action so you can preview before you play. On mobile, we have swapped the bottom nav for a new For You option with a smooth slide-up experience. It is a genuinely new way to browse casino content that you will not find anywhere else. Jump into Stake Casino and try it out!
The matchups we're watching this week
A stacked week across the octagon, the pitch, and the server. The full promo slate is on the Stake promotions page, but here is where our focus is!
UFC 330: Makhachev vs Machado Garry
The octagon delivers a huge title night this Saturday in Philadelphia. Islam Makhachev puts his welterweight crown on the line against the ever-confident Ian Machado Garry in the UFC 330 main event, with a second title fight in the co-main as Mackenzie Dern defends her strawweight belt against Gillian Robertson. Two belts, one night! Our UFC split decision insurance refunds your stake on any winner-market bet that loses by split decision, and our UFC picks blog breaks down the full card.
La Liga is back
Spanish football returns this weekend! The new La Liga season kicks off with several big clubs starting a little later after their players went deep into the summer's international tournament, but there is still plenty to get stuck into from day one. To celebrate, we have two promos live: La Liga Score First, You Win pays out your pre-match 1x2 bet the moment your team scores the opening goal on the first matchday, and the La Liga Winner Odds Boost gives you boosted odds on Real Madrid or Barcelona to win. Browse our La Liga betting markets at Stake for all the latest fixtures.
The Esports World Cup reaches its Counter-Strike finale
The biggest Esports event of the summer has saved one of its biggest tournaments for last. The EWC Counter-Strike 2 event is now running in Paris, with 32 teams battling through the group stage before the playoffs and a grand final at the Accor Arena. Our Esports partner: Team Vitality, is in the field, playing on home soil in Paris. Back Vitality in every match they play with our Team Vitality Odds Boost. Other EWC titles including Chess, Rocket League, and CrossFire are also crowning champions this week, and it all lives on the EWC landing page with our EWC picks blog for the reads.
Dota 2 The International
The most prestigious event in Dota 2 rolls on! The International 2026 is underway with the biggest prize pool in Esports up for grabs. To mark the occasion, we are running Daily TI Odds Boosts, boosting the odds on one match every day, so check back daily to see which one we have picked. Our Dota 2 The International picks blog has the predictions.
Looking ahead: Dutch GP, EPL and a boxing milestone
There is plenty more just around the corner. F1 roars back from its summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort from 21 to 23 August, the final ever running at the iconic seaside circuit and a Sprint weekend to boot. The new Premier League season is also almost here, and in the ring, Amanda Serrano defends her unified featherweight titles against Lucrecia Manzur on 21 August as she chases a place in the record books.
